]]>NEEL 50’, the NEEL 45’, 51’, 47’, 43’, and 52’… more than 200 NEEL cruising trimarans are now sailing across the five oceans and the seven seas of the globe !
Drawing on our experience as builders of the safest, most high-performing, and most comfortable multihulls available, we are expanding our range of sailing yachts with the upcoming arrival of a 48-footer—a model that combines the exceptional qualities of the NEEL 52, which was awarded “Multihull of the Year 2025” in the U.S.A.!
The 48-footer is being developed in partnership with the Marc LOMBARD Yacht Design Group, and also in close collaboration with the winner of the 2020 Vendée Globe: Yannick BESTAVEN !
Yannick’s exceptional expertise—as the proud owner of a NEEL 47—will enhance the deck layout fluidity of the NEEL 48, the efficiency of the helm station and control line layout, the overall cockpit ergonomics, comfort, safety, and more.
To mark the launch, the shipyard will produce 10 units of a Yannick Bestaven Limited Edition.
This version includes an impressive array of equipment never before seen as standard on cruising multihulls, such as a lithium battery bank, a hydro-generator, next-generation solar panels with 800W output, a fully equipped Garmin electronics suite including an autopilot and the Quatix 8 connected watch (note: to be released in September 2026), a 100-liter-per-hour watermaker, a fully equipped domestic galley and laundry pack, and much more.
Also featured: a special edition “Three Capes” hull wrap, customizable colors for the hull, sails, and lazy bag, a mast wrap with the boat’s name, and more.
And for clients looking for that extra half-knot of speed: a rare and unforgettable experience—a personalized handover session with Yannick Bestaven himself !

]]>NEEL 43 DUO: A new dimension in onboard comfort and space
NEEL TRIMARANS, a pioneer in cruising trimaran innovation, is proud to announce the launch of the NEEL 43 DUO, the latest addition to the 43 range. Developed from the success of the historic version, this new configuration embodies our desire to offer a direct response to our customers’ expectations: more living space on board for unrivalled comfort at sea and at anchor.
THE ESSENCE OF NEEL INNOVATION: A TRIMARAN COMBINING COMFORT, PERFORMANCE AND AESTHETICS
Emblematic design by NEEL TRIMARANS. Imagine a sleek silhouette, modern, dynamic lines and a spacious cockpit bathed in natural light. With the NEEL 43 DUO, we have reinvented space on board to offer a unique experience, both elegant and functional.
The perfect balance between performance and fun at sea
With its 3-hull architecture, the NEEL 43 offers incomparable stability and smooth sailing, even in demanding conditions. In this DUO version, which completes the 43 range, every element has been redesigned to combine comfort and performance: even more generous volumes and optimized layouts.
The space freed up by the removal of the front cabin has enabled the creation of:
- Taut lines and optimized volumes give the trimaran a modern, timeless look.
- A 2-cabin configuration, which frees up unprecedented living space and enhances onboard conviviality, with additional storage space to meet the needs of long voyages.
- A panoramic roof offering an unobstructed view of the horizon and exceptional luminosity.
- A spacious lounge area for multiple uses, whether for relaxation, work or socializing.
- A saloon convertible into 2 berths (the boat’s sleeping capacity can be increased to 8 in this new version)
- A meticulous interior finish, thanks to the selection of premium materials that bring a certain standing to the living space on board.
- Greater intimacy thanks to the addition of two bathrooms, a major evolution on the initial version, offering each crew member a private and functional space for enhanced comfort at sea.
“This new design meets a growing demand for cruising units that combine comfort, ergonomics and performance. Our customers now want to sail with a greater sense of space and freedom, while retaining the elegance and performance for which NEEL TRIMARANS are renowned,” says Stéphane Olevier, Sales Director of NEEL TRIMARANS.
Performance-oriented design
The NEEL 43 DUO retains the strengths that made its initial version so successful:
- Enhanced stability, thanks to a lightweight structure and optimized center of gravity.
- Precise maneuverability, with a responsive, intuitive helm that will delight sailing enthusiasts.
- A balanced sail/displacement ratio, guaranteeing fast, pleasant sailing that will delight thrill-seekers and leisure cruisers alike.
With this version, NEEL TRIMARANS invites sailors to rediscover the pleasure of life on board, in a space where comfort and aesthetics rival performance.
A NEW WAY OF EXPERIENCING THE SEA
The NEEL 43 DUO is much more than a trimaran: it is an invitation to redefine your boating experience. Fun, spacious and high-performance, it embodies the NEEL TRIMARANS vision: to offer boats that combine performance and sailing pleasure.

]]>The post NEEL 52: trimaran’s excellence awarded multihull of the year 2025 appeared first on NEEL-TRIMARANS.
]]>A few weeks ago we learned that Cruising World Magazine had nominated the NEEL 52 for Multihull of the Year 2025.
The results are in! The NEEL TRIMARANS teams are very proud to announce that the NEEL 52 has been awarded the prize for “Multihull of the Year over 50 feet”.
This award recognizes more than just a trimaran: it’s a vision, a heritage, and a passion for excellence at sea.
“Owners don’t just get their own stateroom aboard the Neel 52 trimaran. They get a two-story suite with a head, shower and private office located aft in the starboard float, and a stunning view from the berth located on the bridge deck. The living space on this boat is tremendous.” says Mark Pillsbury, jury member.
With its modern, sleek silhouette, the NEEL 52, designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group, incorporates all the assets that have made the range so successful, while embodying the art of living at sea.
This trimaran pushes back the limits of comfort and innovation: “It’s the logical evolution of an iconic company” says jury member Herb McCormick.
This award is the fruit of the hard work and passion of our teams, and we can’t wait to see our customers and future customers explore the world aboard this unique boat. In search of freedom, dreams and adventure.
NEEL 52 invites you to expand your horizons.
